When was the last time you heard somebody saying something positive about his or her fellow man?
Oh her hair is wrong, I don’t like his attitude, he can't sing, she has bad teeth, you know that kind of thing, it's not as good as blah blah blah..Maybe it’s always been there, underneath the surface, but I see Internet and TV critics everywhere I turn. Even people who don’t even like music have an opinion on it.
This is a bad thing.
Comparison has always been a British fascination, instead of just letting things be, why compare, why even criticise, could you do better, if so lets be having you. Recorded Music in the 21st century is in dire straits. Anyone who is making commercial music in 2011 is operating at a huge loss compared to the 1990s, 1980s boom times and this should be applauded not demonised.
These TV producers know exactly what they are doing, they are pulling the strings and the British puppet will happily swing along to its tune.
Even if I go to read a music review online I find a 1001 comments on how bad the act is.
Why do people feel the need to criticise, surely if you don’t like the act, then why would you feel the need to pass comment, what makes you think that your opinion has validation in the first place.
I don’t see any love being administered in Britain today, I like to think I have hope and faith that things will only get better. Maybe we need to start educating this island's inhabitants on their attitudes towards their fellow man and if you want to criticise, then aim your scorn at the people at the top who are pulling your strings and leave little Johnny and Abby to chase their dreams because who made you the hangman.
